From the time the Pilgrims arrived on American soil, faith in God played an important part in shaping our nation. Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.

Yesterday and last week I wrote about two Democrats making dire predictions that could affect the final days of Barack Hussein Obama's Marxist-Socialist transformation of America. They are worried that the only way they can remain in power will be to postpone the 2012 elections. The communists and their union cohorts worked so diligently to slip this phony pretender into the American conscience and their leftist media sympathizers sucked up every word and helped create the rock star, messiah image that no one knew anything about. Now we do know something about Obama that we didn't know three years ago: his lack of experience has driven this once great nation to the brink of insolvency. His naive leadership has perpetuated massive unemployment, unprecedented home foreclosures, an unending foreign entanglement with mounting loses of American soldiers and the American public has become outraged and disillusioned. Now they are predicting food riots by starving, homeless people and feel the only way to help save the economy would be to postpone the inevitable. The Democrats are in panic mode looking at their pending downfall next year in the 2012 elections.

I wrote about it on a few occasions and so have others. Here is a well-written essay on the same subject by someone who writes a lots better than me.

When suspending elections is no longer
conspiracy theory

In the political circles there have been
rumors and theories that the current regime in the White House may not recognize
elections and try to remain in office without the people's consent. Often there
are stories circulating the internet predicting the president will declare
martial law and suspend the elections over some national emergency. Judy McLeod,
an award winning journalist for the Canadian Free Press, reported September 28,
" Seeing Obama golfing, holidaying and seeming not overly concerned about
tanking in the polls, freedom lovers have been waiting almost three years now
for the other shoe to drop. They know at heart that for a Marxist ideologue like
Obama, the strategy of suspending elections fits."

The mere suggestion of such conjures visions
of a third world banana republic having a dictator calling himself "president"
for life--kind of like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. The US Constitution would not
allow such an act. But McLeod and others point out that the current occupier of
the Oval Office has skirted the Constitution on many occasions. Certainly,
ignoring the law has become a presidential precedent in this White
House--refusing to issue permits for off shore drilling, selling assault weapons
to Mexican drug cartel thugs, not enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act, giving
taxpayer money to fund solar energy companies that contributed to the
president's campaign--just to name a few.

But what gives McLeod's commentary legs is
the proclamation by North Carolina Democratic Governor Bev Perdue speaking to
the Cary Rotary Club: "You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to
work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things.
I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and
just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to
just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree
with me on that...You want people who don't worry about the next election." Her
office later issued a statement that she was "obviously using hyperbole", but
witnesses say Perdue's tone was quite serious.

Beltway Confidential reports September 14,
the president told a hispanic group, "There are times where--until Nancy Pelosi
is speaker again--I'd like to work my way around Congress...we've got laws on
the books that have to be upheld. You know as well as anyone that...how we
enforce those laws is also important." You have a president saying that he wants
to work around Congress, enforce the laws the way he sees fit, and a prominent
Democratic governor floating the trial balloon that elections ought to be
suspended. Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, "O generation of vipers, how can ye,
being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." As citizens, we ought to get to the heart of the
matter.
